Trsla has very clearly not focused on stock price and Tesla has very clearly not focused on political alignment (it has been persecuted by the Democratic & Republican parties alike in the USA)

Trsla has been one of the preeminent companies in the world at securing supply chains and is highly respected for its track record in doing so

Trsla is not Elon Musk. I have followed the technical and manufacturing aspects of electric cars fairly closely over the last 15 years. What Tesla has done has been remarkable and of profound impact and I do not use the word profound here lightly; Tesla advanced the adoption and development of EVs by 10 to 15 years.

I get that ppl don't like Elon Musk and I don't like him myself but viewing Tesla through an Elon Musk lens, as I suspect you're doing, leads to shallow analysis.

Would I buy a Tesla today? No, and I've never owned one. But for US Americans they remain the best EV choice. Finally, Tesla is not just a car company, it still has a bright future ahead of it in various sectors and none of its competitors, including BYD, are writing it off. (And no, I'm not suggesting ppl buy Tesla stock either. I don't and have never held it.)
